jQuery .parent() does not work

Solution 1
class_a_jquery_objects[0] is a DOM element and not a jQuery object. You can't call jQuery methods with it. You need to first wrap it in a jQuery object:
$(class_a_jquery_objects[0]).parent()
Solution 2
You need to wrap it with JQuery object
$("#log").append($(class_a_jquery_objects[0]).parent() + "<br />");

Why the following code fails with:
Error: class_a_jquery_objects[0].parent is not a function
?
HTML:
<div> <div class='a b'></div> <div class='b c'></div> <div class='c a'></div> </div> <div id='log'></div>
JS:
$(function() { var class_a_jquery_objects = $(".a"); $("#log").append(class_a_jquery_objects.length + "<br />"); $("#log").append(class_a_jquery_objects[0] + "<br />"); $("#log").append(class_a_jquery_objects[0].parent() + "<br />"); });
